Research Keyword Teacher Interactions

This study examined the impact of activity type and teacher interactions on involvement levels in Singaporean preschool children. Findings revealed that learning corners, characterized by independent exploration and choice, fostered significantly higher involvement than large group activities. Moreover, higher levels of autonomy support from teachers within learning corners further enhanced children's engagement. This highlights the importance of creating preschool environments that prioritize child-led learning and teacher interactions that nurture autonomy.
